A creamy and aromatic American-style chicken curry featuring tender chicken and vibrant bell peppers simmered in a rich coconut milk sauce. This easy, one-pot recipe is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal, ready in just 35 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
Add the cubed chicken to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the curry powder, turmeric powder, and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for another 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in both cans of coconut milk, tamari, brown sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Add the sliced bell peppers, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the peppers should be tender-crisp.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until it has wilted into the sauce.
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Replace the chicken with 1 block (14 oz) of extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed) or two 15-oz cans of chickpeas (drained and rinsed). Use a vegan-friendly soy sauce or tamari.
Increase the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon, or add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (like serrano or Thai chili) along with the garlic and ginger.
Substitute the chicken with 1.5 lbs of large, peeled shrimp. Add the shrimp during the last 3-4 minutes of simmering, as they cook very quickly.
Add 1-2 cups of other vegetables like broccoli florets, snap peas, or cubed sweet potato. Add heartier vegetables like sweet potato earlier, with the coconut milk, and quicker-cooking ones like broccoli with the bell peppers.

To thicken the sauce, you can let it simmer uncovered for an extra 5-10 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate. Alternatively, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering curry until it thickens.
Yes, this recipe is very versatile. You can substitute the chicken with shrimp, firm white fish, cubed tofu, or chickpeas. Adjust the cooking time accordingly; seafood cooks much faster, while tofu and chickpeas can be added with the bell peppers.
